Definition of waggish
waggish \WAG-ish\ (adjective) - Resembling or
characteristic of a wag; displaying good-humored mischief; done or made in
waggery or for sport; humorous.
"Anna listened to the same waggish DJ every morning, but quickly tired of his
inane prank phone calls and irritating impressions of local politicians."
It's thought that "wag" came from "waghalter," a word that was once used for
a "gallows bird" (that is, a person who was going to be, or deserved to be,
hanged). Shortened, the term was used jokingly or affectionately for mischievous
pranksters or youths. Hence a wag is a joker, and waggery is merriment or
practical joking.
